Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Joyce: Be careful what you wish for. If they did consider it chronic, you'd likely not have insurance at all, since many refuse to insure those with " chronic " conditions/diseases. On the other side of the coin, I do understand what you're saying. It is frustrating. -- Dodge " I make the living, my dog makes the living worthwhile.

I take Azulfadine which is for colitis which I don't have.  Actually I am VERY grateful that I have insurance through my work, so don't get me wrong, but it just seems absurd that they consider RA not chronic. What kind of idiot makes that determination?  Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
